AM I A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR A TUMMY TUCK AFTER WEIGHT LOSS?

Sculpt a Firmer, Flatter Abdomen That Matches Your Slimmer Figure in the Milwaukee and Madison Area

Loose skin on the belly area is a common concern, especially for those who have lost 100 pounds or more. One of the side effects of a dramatic change in size is a loss of elasticity, especially in skin that may not have the proteins it needs to bounce back to its natural shape after such a dramatic change. Some loose, heavy folds of skin may still remain, even after you’ve lost weight, seemingly as a reminder of your former size.

A tummy tuck (or “belly tuck,” “stomach tuck,” or “tummy lift,”  as some people refer to it) or mini tummy tuck can be helpful. Specifically, a tummy tuck after weight loss at the Milwaukee and Madison area’s Parkins Plastic Surgery is a body contouring procedure that can help you to achieve and enjoy a firmer, slimmer body shape.

Who Is an Ideal Candidate for a Tummy Tuck After Weight Loss Surgery?

Wondering about your “post-plus size” tummy tuck options? Thinking of having a tummy tuck after bariatric surgery? An abdominoplasty or tummy tuck after weight loss, also known as a tummy tuck for loose skin, involves flattening the belly area, especially if diet, exercise, and weight loss haven’t been enough to tone the stomach. Note that a tummy tuck after weight loss isn’t the same as liposuction, but a tummy tuck and “lipo” can be combined.

If you’re planning a tummy tuck after weight loss, you should know that the ideal weight for a tummy tuck after weight loss will depend on your height and your body type. If you are in good health, a non-smoker, have loose, sagging, or hanging skin on the stomach, and/or separation of the abdominal muscles (diastasis recti), a tummy tuck after weight loss could be a suitable option for you.

The average weight loss after tummy tuck and liposuction is around five to 10 pounds, though it is important to remember that cosmetic procedures are not designed to serve as a weight loss treatment.

With all of this in mind, are you considering having a tummy tuck after weight loss? Tummy tuck before-and-after photos from our practice can help you visualize what the results might be like. If you’re intrigued by the possibilities, give us a call!

What Is Available Aside from a Tummy Tuck After Weight Loss?

Beyond a tummy tuck after weight loss, the Parkins Plastic Surgery team also makes other types of cosmetic procedures, such as belly apron surgery, available to enhance your body shape. Liposuction can be used to treat various areas of the body, such as the upper arms, below the chin, and on the thighs. Breast augmentation, breast lift, or breast reduction can improve breast volume and shape for more balanced body contours.
